Hunter 235 specs ????

[Hayden Jones]

Call me stupid but I don't know what the following specs represent for the 235.I = 25'6"J = 8'6"P = 25'8"E = 10'Also, the mast height at 33'6" I assume is from the weater not from the deck. Correct? I'd prefer not to hit a bridge.Thanks to all providing info. I'm learning a lot about my new boat.Hayden

Call you Stupid? I don't think so!

Untill today, I knew what they were, but not WHAT they were!I looked it up myself this afternoon:I=top most halyard, essentially Jib HoistJ= distance between Mast & Bow, (foot of 100% jib)P=Luff of the MainE=Foot of the Main

close, but...

Those are rough descriptions -- sometimes one needs a little more precision, though. (Especially when measuring for a new sail.)I - vertical distance from boat's sheer line to max jib hoistJ - horizontal distance from front face of mast to the forestay attachment point at the bowThe foot of a 100% jib is NOT = J. The LP (luff perpendicular) of a 100% jib is = J. (For the LP, imagine a line drawn from the clew to the luff that's perpendicular to the luff.)P - Distance from top of boom to max mainsail hoist (mainsail luff)E - Distance from the back of the mast to the clew attachment at its furthest aft location (mainsail foot)
